Description

There has been relatively a small amount of research specifically oriented to vagal contributions to cardiac activity for a variety of environmental stimuli and/or emotional experience. The present review, suggested by a series of Porges' recent papers on cardiac vagal activity as a physiological index of homeostasis, stress, and emotion, tried to draw a clearer picture on the following three points : (a) neuroanatomical and physiological mechanisms, (b) estimation techniques, and (c) psychophysiological findings, of cardiac vagal activity. Particularly underlined were voluntary and social aspects of vagal and the related systems [(a)], superiority of baroreflex sensitivity to respiratory sinus arrhythmia [(b)], and suppressed baroreflex sensitivity associated with distress [(c)]. The present review thus pointed to the importance of considering cardiac vagal activity as an essential part of stress and emotion research.
